Coulson And Co. Are About to Have A Very Bad Day — ‘Agents of SHIELD’

Coulson And Co. Are About to Have A Very Bad Day — ‘Agents of SHIELD’

So if you’ve been paying any attention to Agents of SHIELD (and if you haven’t, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?), you know that they have been gearing up for a seismic shift. In the last episode, you definitely got a glimpse and taste of things to come in this week’s episode. Allegiances were tested and broken, and weird things happened.

Well, after watching The Winter Soldier, I think it’s clear that what we saw in the last episode was nothing. Coulson and Co. are about to have a really, really bad day (and I am going to be slightly disappointed if a certain high-raking…

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ End Credits Breakdowns

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ End Credits Breakdowns
Joanna Robinson — Vanity Fair

This article breaks down the significance of the two end of credits scenes for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you haven’t seen the film yet and don’t want to be spoiled, now would be a good time to leave. Also, that’s right, we said two. You didn’t just up and leave after that first one, did you? Shame.

Seriously, my wife and I were actually quite annoyed at the end of the film. In our theater, there was a mass exodus, seemingly just before the final scene even ended. People were clamboring over us to get out. I don’t get it, this is Marvel. It was such an exodus that they turned…

Mickey Rooney Passes Away At Age 93
Valerie J. Nelson — Los Angeles Times

Mickey Rooney, a celebrated child actor who embodied the All-American boy in the “Andy Hardy” films of the 1930s and ‘40s and became one of the era’s top box-office draws, has died. He was 93.

Rooney, whose roller-coaster show-business career was marked by an often-turbulent personal life, died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Police Commander Andrew Smith and the Los Angeles County coroner’s office confirmed his death.

Rooney’s daughter-in-law Charlene Rooney said the actor died of natural causes Sunday afternoon at the home he shared with her and her husband, Mark…

‘Lucy’ Trailer Starring Scarlett Johansson

‘Lucy’ Trailer Starring Scarlett Johansson

This looks quite intruiging. Joe pointed out to me on chat earlier that perhaps this was meant to make up for the lack of a Black Widow film, although there are rumblings for that happening at some point in the future.

In any event, I’m interested.

Set in a futuristic world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts and corrupted cops, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, 2069 AD, works as a drug mule for the mob. The drug she inadvertently takes goes into her system, changing her into a metahuman. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move…

Godzzilla TV Spot

I have to admit, as much as great big old monster movies aren’t my thing, I’m intrigued by the upcoming Godzilla film. They certainly have been taking a very artistic approach to the trailers and not playing up the typical monster movie stereo types. Case in point is the latest 30 second spot.

There’s Only One God Ma’am — What To See This Weekend

There’s Only One God Ma’am — What To See This Weekend

I’m pretty confident in saying that this is going to be a really good weekend at the cinema. Why? Because Captain America: The Winter Soldier is out this weekend. This is the first of two Marvel films this year and I’ve certainly been looking forward to this one with great anticipation.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — PG-13

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Captain America: The First Avengers. A lot of people complain that it only existed to set up The Avengers but I find that to be quite disingenous. Yes, the ending leaves you hanging slightly because, duh, it is certainly a…

Peter Sciretta — /Film

Amazon today announced their own set-top box to compete with Apple TV and Roku. The $99 Amazon Fire TV Set-Top Box, which begins shipping today, features a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

At the press event to announce the device, Amazon’s Peter Larsen claimed Fire TV improved on three problem points with current devices (Apple and Roku), allowing a better search experience (with voice search), enhanced performance (more ram, less lag), and an open ecosystem (run on an android os).

This is the first thing to come along that, in my estimation, actually offers any competition for the…
